Yours are 3 1/2? Wow! Time does speed by. I have a friend/colleague expecting twins and I know that for the first few months, he won't believe those years will go so quickly, but they really do, don't they?!<br />"yesternight,"-- delightful.<br />The only expression that instantly comes to mind from my kids is my second, chanting, at 22 months, "No eat ma-do" as she chowed down on a piece of playdough!

Sam and Eric are 3 1/2, and Sam says, "Olive you." But he's talking affection, not food! Just as he's given up saying "yook at dat!" the phrase seems to have worked its way into my permanent vocabulary. Oh dear. Do you have any leftover expressions from your kids? One of Irene's that we've kept is "yesternight." So sensible, and useful!danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902311224633734779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-17786065639805029312010-05-20T07:58:44.392-07:002010-05-20T07:58:44.392-07:00Thanks, Pseu, I like the bag's colour as well ...Thanks, Pseu, I like the bag's colour as well and can see it working all over the place. Not sure I should have compromised on the size/shape (I don't often do the short strap unless there's an optional long as well), but was thinking of it as just a fun and occasional extra and didn't want to spend much. It was on sale at Macy's, is well made in leather<br />Hostess: Since we empty-nesters have two nests, we don't get quite as much couple time as we'd like, but we still like to share it with family when we get the chance. Oh, and notice my procrastination . . . .<br />Tiffany: She really does have a sense of humour -- so much fun!<br />LPC: Thanks!<br />Alison: This bouquet had pink and orange and burgundy -- scrumptious!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-48566142539009503472010-05-20T07:53:12.948-07:002010-05-20T07:53:12.948-07:00How much delight can you cram into one post?

And that bag is DELICIOUS. Nola looks an absolute delight, with a great sense of humour. Looking forward to seeing the gold hoops ... and more outfits.

That last picture of Nola is the cutest one yet! It's so fun when they start to develop a sense of humor and make "jokes" on their own.<br /><br />The bag is really pretty too! Is it a Coach? I really like that blue color; it will look smashing with the Smythe jacket, but I can see it working beautifully with so much of the bits of your wardrobe you've shown us.Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.com
